I've been in meetings where someone will introduce a newcomer as their "fruit", a bit odd thing to do IMO. If nothing else, did they ever think for a second that it would make the new person feel uncomfortable? Really the heart of the issue is that there is so much pressure for members to recruit new members, that whenever they actually bring someone to the LC (a somewhat rare occurrence), the goal becomes finding a way to get everyone to notice what they've done.
